Beeswax Wraps

Hey awesome bloggers,


Today I am here  with breaking news, animals are dying because of all the the plastic litter. You guys can help by reducing the amount of single use plastic, and to do that, you can make beeswax wraps just like we did. We decided to make beeswax Wraps because we want to reduce the amount of single use plastic. In Tuffery Class we have been learning about  single use plastic and what happens with all the plastic things we use. Do you know where all the plastic that you can not recycle goes? If you don't, it  goes to the landfill. Did you know that that it take  500 hundred years for a plastic bag to disintegrate? 

We used these materials to make our beeswax wraps and don't worry I am going to tell you how to make it step by step:

Beeswax wraps

To make beeswax wraps, follow this recipe.


What you will need:


  • 100% cotton fabric

  • Pinking shears

  • Beeswax pellets

  • Baking paper

  • Iron

  • Old towel

  • Cardboard (optional)


Method:


  1. Choose a fabric that is 100% cotton.

  2. Cut the cloth using the pinking shears into a square ( measuring 30cm by 30cm. 

  3. Sprinkle a handful of beeswax pellets onto the fabric and spread them out evenly.

  4. Put parchment paper on the top and the bottom of your fabric so that the iron does not get damaged.

  5. Iron the beeswax slowly so that it melts onto the fabric, you can use cardboard and a towel if you do not have anything to iron on.

  6. Peel of the parchment paper that is on the top paper slowly so that the beeswax does not peel off.

  7. Take the beeswax wrap from the bottom parchment paper.

  8. Let it dry and cool down so that your wrap is ready to use.

How we could reduce the single use amount of plastic

Hey bloggers,


Today I my group in reading  which is Hufflepuff had to do How we could reduce  the number of single use plastic. I came with 5 ways you can help us reduce rubbish. Do you know that all the plastic we use goes to landfill? Some people do not know what landfill is so I will explain it to you: every year 26.8 million tons of rubbish is sent to a place that they dig all the plastic into the ground  it is very bad for the environment. Sometimes the plastic goes to the ocean it can also pollute the earth. What happens when it pollutes places? It kills sea and wildlife creatures. It take 500 or more years for just one plastic bag to disintegrate. So you could help the sea and wildlife creatures as well as the world.
Here is someways you can help the world:

Right place at the right time

Hey bloggers,


Today I am going to be showing you my slides of being on the right thing at the right time. If you are at school and you get caught on something you are not meant to be on you most likely to get in trouble (that is why you should be on the right thing at the right time). I know most schools do not allow children to go on YouTube but sometimes there are some stuff that you are allowed on that is on YouTube.
Here is my slides  that I made:

 Thank you for reading my blog post.

Central Interceptor

Hey bloggers,

It was the last week of school YAY!!!! we have been learning about the central interceptor. It is going to be done by 2025, IT IS SUPER EXCITING! If you are wondering what the Central Interceptor is, It is a tunnel that will purify the whole of Auckland´s water ( that is what I heard). We had some people that came in from Water Care and  told us about the Central Interceptor. We were lucky that we seniors at Hay Park School got to choose the name of the giant tunnel ( We had some options out of the Matariki stars) we have not heard what name is yet but we will find out soon these are some fact about it. The Matariki star that I  chose was Waiti.
